    Braised duck leg wonton thick noodle soup (noodles were soggy!!)
    Allena C.

    As always, we couldn't decide where to eat, so we just parked the car on Noriega and walked around, hoping something would pique our interest. We landed at Noodle Stop, a hole-in-the-wall, no frills joint. We've been here before, but it looks as if the menu has expanded. It used to be a simple and limited menu. We were able to grab a table on a Friday night at about 6 pm. Service is fast and efficient. GAI LAN WITH OYSTER SAUCE ~ A bit overcooked, so the texture was soft. They gave us a dish of oyster sauce on the side. 3/5 BRAISED DUCK LEG WONTON THICK NOODLE SOUP ~ My guy ordered this. It was in a slightly spicy curry-type broth with wide egg noodles, which were overcooked and soggy! The duck leg wasn't large enough to be the star of the show. The majority of what was in the bowl was soggy noodles. They are generous with their offering, but execution needs improvement. 2.5/5 STEWED BEEF BRISKET WITH PORK FEET GUILIN RICE NOODLE SOUP ~ This was my dish. The guilin noodles were cooked just right, and the beef brisket and pork feet were tender and flavorful. It was on point and perfect for SF's chilly evening weather. (Just a note for those who are allergic to peanuts, they are added to the Guilin noodle soup bowls.) 4/5 PORK INTESTINE GUILIN RICE NOODLE SOUP ~ My friend ordered this, and I tried a bit of the pork intestine as I've never had it before. It has an acquired flavor and taste! Eating one was okay, but I don't think I could eat a whole bowl of it! It had a good chewy texture, but I wasn't used to the taste. He liked it, so that's all that mattered. 4/5 Some dishes were cooked perfectly, while others were overcooked. There is only one chef in the kitchen, so when there are many orders to fill and not enough assistance, food doesn't turn out as it should. With a name like Noodle Stop, your noodles need to be cooked perfectly! Hit or miss with that one!

    Came to Noodle Stop and was really impressed with their Guilin noodle soup. The portion was huge, and there were plenty of toppings, which made it feel very worth it. I really enjoyed the noodles and would definitely recommend giving them a try. There's a good amount of seating in the restaurant, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time.

    For the price, and if you're a starving college student trying to ball on a budget, this is the place to go. Monday - Friday before 11:00 AM there is a 11.99 breakfast combo that includes an entree and a drink of choice. Talk about a steal! Cantonese speaking at this store with excellent service in my opinion. Fine to solo dine in and for small groups less than or equal 4. They can probably move some chairs around for bigger parties. Highly recommend with my utmost respectful regards.

    It's like I'm dining in Hong Kong Wow these noodles really brought me back to my HK trip. Okay here goes, I highly recommend their Cantonese Style number 9, wonton noodles which has different wontons with abalone, crab, and shrimp. It was super fresh and Hella good. But let's get to the star of the show, tge hot sauce and potstickers. When the lady asked me if I wanted 4 or 10, I quickly said 10 thinking if I didn't finish it, I could air fry them later. The potstickers didn't even make it past 5 minutes. I ate them ALL. Super fresh and crispy and with that sauce, the bomb! It was gone in a flash. My coworker's beef intestine and pig feet soup looked intense. Everything was great and we are sooo addicted to the hot sauce and their pot stickers. We bought 2 batches to go and the chili sauce. That's how good it was.

    A great neighborhood place for a casual meal. Family run so it has a cozy feel. There can be a wait for lunch. They have breakfast combos until 11am that are a good deal. I really like their wontons. Each one has a different flavor. I'm also a sucker for their homemade spicy sauce.

    Wonton is not cooked. Pork inside and you cant under cooked wonton.
    Olee L.

    Never so angry. Wonton is not cooked. Soup is hot but wonton is lukewarm. We were hungry so just have to eat only the wonton skin. Split out all pork filling. This shop need to be retrain all staff about food safety. Teenager can boil dumplings and at lease cook it through in water. Horrible. Never again! Bathroom is clean and service is good. Hence 2 stars.

    Came here to try a new noodle spot with friends!! The ambiance is nice and cozy, and the service is great as well! We ordered our food and drinks pretty quickly, and they came to our table relatively fast too. We got the curry duck noodle, "noodle stop" seafood noodle, and savory rice noodles with peanut sauce! The food was delicious, and the portions were so big! My favorite dish had to be the seafood noodle - the shrimp, calamari, and dumplings were friend on top of the egg noodles, and they give you soup on the side that you pour into the dish yourself! My friend got the hot milk tea and I got the hot honey lemonade, and we both loved our drinks! The hot honey lemonade was definitely on the sweeter side, but it was very good nonetheless. Overall, this was a great noodle spot to stop by and eat - complete with both noodles and hong-Kong style drinks :)

    Great, no frills wonton noodle shop in the sunset district, I stumbled upon a lunch spot with friends on a random Saturday. The menu is very extensive, but id stick with the Cantonese style noodle soups here. Most people here ordered the wonton noodle soup and rice noodle rolls. I ordered a hot soymilk which could've been warmer, it felt like they just microwaved the cup so not sure how fresh the soymilk actually was. Rice noodles were just ok, and the broth could've had a bit more flavor. Service for HK style cafe was not bad and pretty attentive

    Good customer service, the lady is very knowledgeable about their noodles. Solid flavors and great appetizers. Loved the "salty fried bread" / Chinese banh tieu and dumplings had good skin. Soup was good but the noodles were not the spongiest. However, pretty cheap ~$15 for a big hot bowl. If I'm in the area would definitely consider coming back.

    Our orders came out hot, they were all super yummy! We came on a Sunday around 11:30, no wait and was instantly seated. Great customer service, excited to come back again!

    Tucked away little spot on Noriega, very conveniently located! Straightforward ambiance inside but overall clean. Food was good - my friend and I really like their rice noodles and also got their five star wonton noodles. I enjoyed the beef brisket rice noodles - good texture - and the wonton noodle soup had good flavor though not as bouncy noodles. My personal favorite, however, was the mix sauce rice noodles but especially with the house chili oil which was sooo good and I wish I got a pic of it. The flavors altogether along with the chew of the noodles - match made in heaven. Also I really want to shoutout the nice lady working there, she kept refilling our teas (which come complimentary with the meal!) and also made a point to say that my friend and I didn't have to rush out. Much appreciated! Overall: 5/5

    Wonton noodle
    Mark L.

    We came here because we heard their wonton noodle is good. However... Wonton noodle - The wonton was good! Marinated with Sesame oil, the soup is also very good. But the noodle is just average. Even after paying the extra $3 for the special noodle. That's not worth it. 桂林牛肚米線 - Not bad. I'd prefer the 牛肚 cut into bigger pieces cause it lost the texture (口感). The noodle seems softer, I prefer firmer.

    David L.

    Was in the mood for some good wonton and found this place via fellow Yelpers. The service here is very good and attentive is the first thing my family and I noticed when we came here on Memorial Day. We got here at 11.30am and was surprised how packed the place was. But I realized it was because the early folks came for the special weekday combo meal deal and which looked like a real good deal. We ordered the 5 star wonton soup with and without noodles, green onion pancake, the beef entrails and wonton lo mein, and beef entrails rice noodle soup. All the food tasted great and I can see why this place showed up when I did a Yelp search for best SF wonton! I will definitely be back again in the future when I am nearby going to the SF Sunset or Richmond district!

    I saw many were able to park right outside of the restaurant and it is walkable from Union Square…read more If you are walking and first time SF, the area may feel a little sketchy especially after sundown. I was by myself and wanted to have a quick eat. This place has unique ramen so I decided to come again (also SF/bay area only in the US). Since I was alone, I got to skip the line and only waited 15 minutes. The ramen was great. I would love to come again and try new one. Their duck chashu is SO GOOD. A little salty but works great as a whole. I respect the kitchen and servers because it's so busy and they are very efficient.

We were a large group of 15, including several kids, and we completely understand that the restaurant is small and accommodating a group our size can be challenging. We waited in line for almost an hour with around 6 children. During the wait, a staff member named Sue came outside, asked how many people were in our group, and handed us menus. Since it was our first visit, we were naturally asking questions and trying to understand the menu. Unfortunately, throughout the interaction, her body language and expressions felt impatient and unwelcoming. There was visible frustration and eye-rolling, which made us feel uncomfortable rather than welcomed. Even after we were seated, the experience continued to feel tense. One of the toddlers in our group started crying briefly -- something fairly common with young children -- and we were told to "keep it low out of respect." While we absolutely respect other diners, the way it was communicated felt lacking in empathy, especially on a busy Mother's Day with families dining out. A small gesture of kindness or understanding could have gone a long way. Instead, my friend felt compelled to take the child outside, which was disappointing. Additionally, after being seated, we had to remind the staff multiple times to come take our orders. What makes this especially unfortunate is that the ramen itself was truly delicious and lived up to the hype. The food was excellent, which is why this experience was so disappointing overall. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because customer service and hospitality matter just as much as the food experience. Unfortunately, this was not the ideal way to end our Mother's Day celebration.

I've been to plenty of Japanese/Ramen spots and I've been running into the issue where I say I have a soy allegry and there is an assumption that I have a gluten issue (I do not have a gluten issue). I noticed yelp said they have soy-free options and thus called on Friday thinking it might be a bad idea as they're usually busy.. It was defintely hard for the person to hear a bit when they picked up. The staff did relay something about gluten free noodles.. Anyways, they said they could swap out any of the soy soups for salt (but soy can encompass a lot of things so I still wasn't feeling super confident but we're going to give it a go). We go and I asked which 4 of the soups I was eyeballing don't have soy - the staff said they can accomodate and replace any of the soy soups with a salt broth. After we ordered, the staff came back and checked in to make sure that my partner also didn't have an allergy. And my dish came out, they told me there was no egg as its marinated in soy - perfect to me. I'm glad that was caught as not every establishments can account for everything. - Now I have a spot to (more safely) eat ramen! - I advise that if you do have an food allergy, do talk to the staff, and address your concerns such as cross contamination etc. I had a great experience, but I do find that because its not so regulated or understood and there is lack of education amongst the food/resturant industry - you always need to advocate for yourself and there is always a risk.
